Verse 1: For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies For the love which from our birth over and around us lies Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise Verse 2: For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night Hill and vale and tree and flower, sun and moon and stars of light Lord of all, to Thee we raise this our hymn of grateful praise

Verse 1: Here I am again I’m trying to make sense of the chaos and the heart of stone within me Here I am again This is all so big and beyond me What’s one more sinner before Your throne? In-Between: These lies get so old How could I be this bold But please take notice of me I’m lost in this crowd And the noise gets so loud But please hear me One more time Verse 2: Here I am again, one more time I’m right back where I started With this heart of lies within me Here I am again, one more time I can’t even lift my eyes up Who am I to come before Your throne? Chorus 1: Please show me Your grace, please show me Your face Show me Your goodness in the land of the living But can I wait that much longer here in this place Bridge: But I know, I know that You’re good I know that You’re true, I know that You love me I know, I know that You’re good I know that You’re true, and I know that You won’t let me go Chorus 2: Please show me Your grace, please show me Your face Show me Your goodness in the land of the living And give me strength to wait One more time

Empty My Hands (free) 05:09
Verse 1: I've got voices in my head and they are so strong And I'm getting sick of this Oh Lord, how long Will I be haunted by the fear that I believe My hands like locks on cages Of these dreams I can't set free Pre-Chorus 1: But if I let these dreams die If I lay down all my wounded pride If I let these dreams die Will I find that letting go lets me come alive Chorus: So empty my hands Fill up my heart Capture my mind with you Verse 2: These voices speak instead and what's right is wrong And I'm giving into them, please Lord, how long Will I be held captive by the lies that I believe My heart's in constant chaos and it keeps me so deceived Pre-Chorus 2: But if I let these dreams die If I could just lay down my dark desire If I let these dreams die Will I find you brought me back to life Bridge: 'Cause my mind is like a building burning down I need your grace to keep me, keep me from the ground And my heart is just a prisoner of war A slave to what it wants and to what I'm fighting for

I keep my eyes on the horizon Looking out over the deep Water's churning, swells are crashing Yeah the tempest has angered the sea But you are, you're my rescuer Maker of the endless deep You are my anchor in the storm You hold me fast to your shore Oh you have your hand on me I keep my eyes on the passes Winding each scraggly peak Avalanches have eroded this path Yeah land is sliding out from my feet But you are, you're my rescuer Maker of mountains so steep You're the world's foundation And you will not be shaken Oh you have your hand on me Oh, you have your hand on me I keep my eyes on the ticking hands Sweeping away all the years With all my dreams and loved ones death has claimed Yeah they haunt me with fear, pain, and with tears But you are, you're my rescuer Existing eternally By your blood you conquered the grave By you it's you that I now crave Oh you had your hand on me Oh you had your hand on me And by your sure and steady hands You will persevere Till the mountains fall into the sea At the end of all these things You will still have your hand on me You will still have your hand on me You will always have your hand on me Oh you have your hand on me May you ever be all I see May you be, may you be, all I see

Verse 1: This is my Father’s world, and to my list’ning ears All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres This is my Father’s world, I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas, His hands the wonders wrought Verse 2: This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise The morning light, the lily white declare their Maker’s praise This is my Father’s world, He shines in all that’s fair In the rustling grass I hear Him pass He speaks to me everywhere Verse 3: This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet This is my Father’s world, the battle is not done Jesus Who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heav’n shall be one Tag: This is my Father’s world, why should my heart be sad? The Lord is king, let the heavens ring God reigns, let the earth be glad

Verse 1: I have lost my appetite and a flood is welling up behind my eyes So I eat the tears I cry And if that were not enough, they know just the words to cut and tear and prod When they ask me, “Whereʼs your God?” Pre-Chorus: Why are you downcast, oh my soul? Why so disturbed within me? I can remember when you showed your face to me Chorus: As a deer pants for water, so my soul thirsts for you And when I behold Your glory, You so faithfully renew Like a bed of rest for my fainting flesh I am satisfied in You Verse 2: When Iʼm staring at the ground it’s an inbred feedback loop that brings me down So itʼs time to lift my brow And remember better days when I loved to worship You in all your ways With the sweetest songs of praise Bridge: Let my sighs give way to songs that sing about Your faithfulness Let my pain reveal Your glory as my only real rest Let my losses show me all I truly have is You ’Cause all I truly have is You Verse 3: So when Iʼm drowning out at sea and Your breakers and your waves crash down on me Iʼll recall your safety scheme Youʼre the one who made the waves and Your Son went out to suffer in my place And to tell me that Iʼm safe Outro: So why am I down? Why so disturbed? I am satisfied in You I am satisfied in You

O Lord, my heart is so loud sometimes My eyes are raised too high O Lord, my heart is so proud My eyes are raised so high And I try, oh, I try To set it all aside and worship at Your feet Verse 2: O Lord, I’m trying to trust in You But the heaviness goes so deep O Lord, I’m trying to hope in You I’m trying to rest in You And I try, oh, I try To keep myself from things too marvelous for me Bridge: But God, oh, God Calm and quiet my soul, calm and quiet my soul Remind me why I’m here Remind me what’s true Remind me who You are Verse 3: O Lord, calm and quiet my soul Calm and quiet my soul O Lord, calm and quiet my soul Calm and quiet my soul Like a babe, oh, like a babe Safe in his mother’s arms, safe in his mother’s arms Tag: Calm and quiet my soul, calm and quiet my soul Like home, like home From now till forevermore, from now and forevermore My hope, my hope

This Old Guitar (free) 02:56
Verse 1: This old guitar taught me to sing a love song Showed me how to laugh and how to cry It introduced me to some friends of mine And brightened up some days It helped me make it through some lonely nights Oh, what a friend to have on a cold and lonely night Verse 2: This old guitar taught me turn to Your face Turned me from my selfish, shallow heart Gave me words when it was hard to pray Whispered truth in the noise Reminded me of Who You’ve always been Oh, reminded me of Who You’ll always be Verse 3: This old guitar reflected the bright blue sky Watched the sunset once or twice with me Watched Your stars swirl slowly overhead And played beside the fire Reminded me that I am not alone Oh, how could I be alone? With who You’ve given me How could I be alone

Verse 3: For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child Friends on earth and friends above, pleasures pure and undefiled Christ our God, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise Verse 4: For Thy church that evermore liftest holy hands above Offering up on ev'ry shore Her pure sacrifice of love Christ our God, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise Verse 5: For Thyself, best gift divine, to our race so freely given For that great, great love of Thine, peace on earth and joy in heaven Christ our God, to Thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise
